Yeah, I think the right language around this probably moves away from “world”. You also starve pretty soon after as you’re 100% in world 4 - they’re stereotyped worldviews, not literally evenly distributed worlds. [ETA: Not quite—Michael Vassar pointed out to me that selection pressures can be strong enough for stage 4 to be sustainable in sufficiently forgiving environments—you can do the things to sustain life as rituals within a power game rather than through understanding what they do.]
I think the main way to move back to world 1 in a world not dominated by it is to construct systems that internally coordinate according to world 1 and use their superior ability to build and use shared maps to outmaneuver more socially constrained systems and take territory from them.
The right way for world 1 to hold onto power is by (a) taking care of everyone involved unconditionally, so there’s no particular reason to manufacture a story where you’re useful, and (b) prioritizing maintaining shared maps about who’s faking.
